DESCRIPTION:
There have been many books - on a large and small scale - about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others. Schlender and Tetzeli make clear that Jobs' astounding success at Apple was far more complicated than simply picking the right products: he became more patient, he learned to trust his inner circle, and he discovered the importance of growing the company incrementally rather than only shooting for dazzling, game-changing products.. Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and st
The 'unauthorized' Jobs biography that has earned the praise of those who knew him best (and fills in details not known before) This is a fascinating biography that I enjoyed very much, but before getting into the details of the book itself I want to quickly go back in time to when Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 (it's hard to believe that three and a half years have already gone by since that date). At that time, the Walter Isaacson biography (Steve Jobs) had already been written.Jobs had agreed to be interviewed by Isaacson over the course of the final two years of his life, and when Isaacson's biography of Jobs was published less than three weeks after his death, on October 2The 'unauthorized' Jobs biography that has earned the praise of those who knew him best (and fills in details not known before) Phil (not) in Magnolia This is a fascinating biography that I enjoyed very much, but before getting into the details of the book itself I want to quickly go back in time to when Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011 (it's hard to believe that three and a half years have already gone by since that date).

The key difference here is the depth of his behavior and actionsshowing the evolution of maturity in a brilliant young man who was able to continuously learn his way into the skills, patience, and focus to pull off one of the great turnarounds and transformations of all time.As a book about Apple (a company many of us loved from the beginning) it is a good read. As a book about the power of learning to accomplish great things and to pull great people togetherit really is a must read and a must reflect. I have seen few books over the years that do such a comprehensive story about a person's journey to great things in . A good exploration Thomas Roberts A decent biography of Steve Jobs. I enjoyed it much more than Walter Isaacson's wasted opportunity of a bio. Becoming Steve Jobs delves much deeper into Jobs' years at NeXT and Pixar, which a lot of books tend to gloss over (Isaacson barely devoted any pages to those topics!) Some new material is covered and the authors personal anecdotes are very interesting.The authors make some assertions about Jobs and his personal growth that they don't really back up with evidence. The book is also riddled with timeline mistakes or basic misunderstandings about Apple's technology. It also seemed that any interviews they performed for the book wer
